Bootsfahrt Heidelberg offers a variety of private boat tours for almost every occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a corporate event, enjoying a family gathering, organising a bachelor or bachelorette party, celebrating an anniversary or simply exploring Heidelberg from the water, we have the perfect tour for you. You can choose between our 90-minute and 3.5-hour private boat tours, as well as our affordable private boat tour for two, which is ideal for couples, friends or small families. We also offer shared sightseeing cruises with individual tickets on selected dates.

Most of our boat tours are completely private. When you book a private tour, the boat is reserved exclusively for you and your guests, and every cruise includes an experienced English-speaking skipper. If you’re looking for a more affordable way to discover Heidelberg from the water, we also offer shared sightseeing cruises with individual tickets on selected dates throughout the year.

Each of our premium boats accommodates up to 12 guests. For larger groups, you can book two or even all three boats, allowing up to 36 guests to cruise together. Once on the water, the boats are securely connected so guests can move freely between them, creating one large floating venue. If you’re planning an even bigger event, we can also help combine your boat tour with kayaks or other activities offered by our local partners.

Absolutely. Every private boat tour can be tailored to your wishes. You’re welcome to bring your own food, drinks and decorations, play your favourite music through our JBL Boombox and create the perfect atmosphere for your group. You can also add drinks, catering, decorations, mulled wine, professional photo shoots and other extras when booking. Whenever possible, we can even adapt the cruising route to your preferences, and our 3.5-hour tours can include a refreshing swimming stop on request.

All private boat tours depart from a central location in Heidelberg, close to the Congress Centre and the historic Old Town. The boarding point is located immediately next to Restaurant Pier IV, making it easy to reach on foot from many hotels, restaurants, bars and Heidelberg’s famous Old Town. Because manually entering the address into some navigation apps can occasionally result in inaccurate directions, we recommend opening the exact location of our departure pier using this link.

Our 90-minute private boat tour starts at €396 per boat and accommodates up to 12 guests. The 3.5-hour private boat tour starts at €744 per boat and includes enough time to explore the beautiful Neckar Canal and, if you wish, enjoy a refreshing swimming stop. We also offer an affordable private boat tour for two from €249, including a bottle of sparkling wine and a bottle of mineral water. If you’d like to experience Heidelberg from the water without booking a private boat, you can join one of our shared sightseeing cruises from €29.50 per person. During the winter months, our private tours are also available as cosy mulled wine cruises, with the same prices as our regular tours.
